CEO of Avante. Scaling the next big vertical in Enterprise SaaS

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do, even on the hardest days.” — Steve Jobs Over the past year, we’ve been heads down building something truly unique here in the upper left corner of the country—something we believe will create a lasting impact across the globe. We’re fueled by a relentless drive to push through the hardest moments, always guided by a commitment to disrupt the system the right way. Today, I’m thrilled to announce Jonathan Smith has joined us in our pursuit. As Avante’s new Executive Vice President, he will lead our commercial growth and sales. Jonathan will help unlock massive value for employers across the US and worldwide, empowering them to take control of their second-largest expense. Jonathan brings over 25 years of exceptional experience driving growth, fostering trusted client relationships, and delivering healthcare innovation. He’s held leadership and executive roles at AccessHope, Gallagher, WTW, McKesson (Relay Health), and Aetna, a CVS Health Company—making him the ideal partner for this next phase of avante's journey. Most importantly? Jonathan is a dedicated practitioner of Type II fun. Welcome aboard, Jonathan! 🚀
